Covid 19 continues...

Hello my fellow lacers,


I certainly hope that all of you are doing well, staying healthy, and finding ways to entertain yourselves with some lace making during this quarantine. There can be so much added stress due to Covid-19 but I hope all you have found healthy coping techniques. We are all anxious about when we can feel safer in public and what our daily lives will be like in the future. Just remember to always aspire to be kind (the word kind has so many beautiful synonyms).


We have had two successful and fun Zoom chat/business meetings. It was wonderful to “see” all of you that could join. As you might imagine there wasn’t a lot of business to zoom about. Thanks to all who could report. We accepted the April minutes and the financial report that Debbie and Linda submitted and that were emailed to the group. Dorothy would love any suggestions for demonstrations that we could do in spite of quarantine. Kelly is always looking for items for the newsletter so please send her your ideas, photos of lace, lace book reviews, or anything you think we might be interested in. We will schedule another zoom chat in a couple of weeks but maybe we’ll try an evening to accommodate those who can’t zoom during the day.


I have spoken with Louise about our scheduled late September workshop and we've agreed to reschedule it for Sept. 25 thru the 27th of 2021.


I send my best wishes to you all,

Marilyn

President of the Dallas Lace Society

Our next demonstration is scheduled for March 13, 14, & 15 at the Dallas Quilt Show at Market Hall. It's an annual event that's always a lot of fun.

We also will be setting up for a demo at C.C. Young on March 19th at 10am. Our demo will run for a couple of hours and we will need several volunteers so let us know if you would like to participate.

Letter from the President

Dear lacemaking friends,

Fall is finally here! Our Christmas Party will be here before we know it. The date is December 14 from noon to 3ish. Stacy has agreed to decorate our room at the library. (Hopefully next year will be at the new library!) Kelly will be taking RSVPs so that we know how many place settings to prepare and she will keep track of who is bringing what for the potluck luncheon.

At the party we will have door prizes, raffle items, and the lace exchange. If you have any items (they do not have to be lace related) to donate for raffle or door prizes, please bring them that day. The lace exchange, in case you are new to this, is as follows: You bring a lace item you have made, wrapped so no one can tell what it is or who it is from, and place it in the center of the table (discretely). Then, after lunch, numbers are drawn and, in turn, each lacer that contributed an item gets to pick an item. We all get to enjoy seeing what everyone has been working on. Even if you are thinking “I’m too new to lace, no one will want my item”, forget that. We still love to have your items and see your progress. We were all there once! or twice! or ………

We enjoyed our demo time at the Plano Quilt Show and did some much needed(?) shopping. Thanks to Debbie, Kathy, Kelly, Linda, Stacy and myself for volunteering. Next came our day at the State Fair. Always a fun and busy time. Thanks to Debbie, Kathy, Kelly, Pat, Stacy and myself for volunteering. Now let’s hope for new members.

We had some beautiful pieces winning prizes in the State Fair this year. For original design in Bobbin Lace, Arthiss won first place with her sunflowers. Kelly won first place for her tatted grape bunch. Lisa won first place in needle lace. Interpreted Bobbin Lace design, Stacy won First Place with her Phoenix, Kathy was Second with her Flamingo, Kelly was Third with her Fish, and Debbie was Honorable Mention with her Fan. Kelly will be posting pictures of the winners and their items. I hope even more of you will participate in 2020.

Of course, Louise’s workshop was a great hit. Thanks to Debbie and Doug for hosting and to all who were able to attend. I’m seeing some delightful items being finished. She will return on Sept 26, 27, and 28 of 2020 so mark your calendar.

Dorothy has offered to teach us Tenerife lace making, and Kathy has invited us to east Texas. Now we just need to pick a date sometime in the early spring of 2020.

The classes and teachers for IOLI 2020 in Mesa, Arizona have not been announced yet, but the hotel is taking reservations. Be sure to mention that you are attending the IOLI convention to get the special rate. It will be at the Hilton Phoenix/Mesa and the local phone number is 480 833 5555.

Another workshop opportunity is the Winter Lace Conference in Costa Mesa, California on February 14 through 16. For more details contact Belinda Belisle at WinterLaceConference@gmail.com or visit http://winterlaceconference.com.

Best to you all,
Marilyn

Third Quarter Newsletter
August 2019

Letter from the President

Dear lacemaking friends,

Hope the summer heat is providing you with plenty of cool indoor time for lace.

Kathy Ogle, Stacy Tackett, Sherry Mathers, Heather Norris, Amy Groff and I enjoyed our time at the IOLI convention in Spokane Valley. The accommodations were good and had a wonderful outdoor dining area to enjoy the cool Washington air. We were served plenty of Walla Walla Washington sweet onion dishes. Who knew there were so many ways to serve onions! We are looking forward to next year’s convention in Mesa, Arizona.


Our next workshop will be with Louise Colgan from October 5 thru 7. Sign up information will be sent via email. After our membership has had a chance to enroll, I will send an invitation to the other nearby lace groups through our IOLI Central Regional Director. If you have any skill you would like to share or a lace you would like to learn please speak up and we can see if it can be arranged into a group activity.

Dorothy has offered to teach us Tenerife lace making. Who would be interested?

Kathy has offered to host a lace retreat for members at her east Texas cabin and the club house nearby. She has room to sleep quite a few and there are cabins to rent nearby. We could have a teacher or just get together and lace. We just need to decide on a date. Who would be interested?

Our next volunteer opportunity is the Plano Quilt Show on August 9 and 10. After that there will probably be a date for us to demo at the State Fair. I hope many of you have entered items for judging at this year’s fair. It is wonderful to see them displayed when we are volunteering at the fair.

Our, now famous author, member Vivian Lincoln has published a book “All About Chappy” available on Amazon under the nom d plum MuttonHead.
Nine-year-old Chappy is a curious, adventurous child who lives with his family in the hamlet of Annieville, Mississippi. Just three-square city blocks, this village is cursed with a kind of sadness and misery everyone knows about, but it’s a topic no one dares to speak of. Annieville lacks any aspect of joy or happiness; the concept of fun has long since packed its bags and departed.
One day, Chappy decides to run away from home. He has no idea, nor does he care, what effect his decision to leave will have on his family


or community. He just wants to experience what’s on the other side of the bridge. Little does he know, his plan ultimately improves his life and the lives of the other local children.
A modern fairy tale, All about Chappy shares a story about empowerment, confidence, optimism, and offers a better understanding of the world.

Congratulations Vivian.

Our next business meeting will be October 29, 2019.

Best to you all,
Marilyn

Letter from the President


Dear lacemaking friends,

How are those lace projects going? Be sure to send photos and comments to Kelly for the web page. It is fun to see what others are working on – share successes and problems.

We are enjoying our fresh, clean meeting room at the library. I know the staff will all be glad when they have a new building. They have put a construction fence around the property that I think the building will go on. May be looking at the wrong lot though!

As you all know we were blessed with large donations of lace supplies and books. Pat Grummitt that I mentioned last month, Mary Ellen Beaty, and from the daughter of a Houston lace maker, Margaret Sheppard. Their generosity and support of our group greatly improved the financial position for the future and the scope of our library. We had a great dispersal of items on a Saturday afternoon and orders via email. Thanks to all of you that participated.

Arthiss spent many an hour integrating the donated books into our library and preparing listings to sell the books we already had a copy of. Our library has been greatly enriched by these wonderful donations.

We had an enjoyable workshop with Cathy Morris hosted by Arthiss in her beautiful arts and crafts patio room. It is always fun to see the beautiful Honiton lace pieces Cathy has made and to have her patient, knowledgeable help with our many different projects. If you think of any type of lace that you would like a workshop on, please speak up and if we have enough interest, we can start looking for a teacher. One suggestion by Kathy Ogle is a class in Tenerife Lace. Also, if you have a skill you would like to teach please speak up. We have Louise scheduled for Oct 5 thru 7, 2019 and Sept 26 thru 28, 2020. Mark your calendars now.

Our next demonstration opportunities include the Quilt Plano show August 9 and 10 from 9AM to 5PM. We have also been invited to present at two clubs and Dorothy has agreed to give our talk while we demonstrate making lace. They are for the Dallas Needlework and Textile Guild on February 13, 2020 and the Bay View Century Club on January 9, 2020. I imagine we will be asked to demo at the State Fair too.

Our next business meeting will be July 30, 2019.

Best to you all,
Marilyn
